The law covers all occupational exposure to silica in construction. Silica is present in construction materials that contain sand, such as concrete, brick, mortar and cent based siding, and this law affects 2 million workers in construction. Silica can cause lung cancer, silicosis and other health effects. OSHA has identified 18 common job tasks in construction with silica exposure and specific control measures for those tasks. For construction tasks outside of these 18 tasks, the employer is required to conduct air sampling to determine worker exposure to silica or rely on other objective data. This talk will discuss the 18 tasks and the employer’s options on compliance with the OSHA permissible exposure limit of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The new rule requires engineering controls, housekeeping provisions, a written program, as well as worker training and medical and respiratory protection exams. This talk will cover the major provisions of the rule and what employers need to do to comply. ROOM 8B Target Audience: Owners, supervision, safety managers, general contractors, subcontractors, homebuilders and remodelers responsible for implementing a workplace silica program. FORECASTING THE FUTURE: EFFECTIVE SCHEDULE DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT 11:00AM - 12:00PM - WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY Scheduling enables construction professionals to effectively manage projects, forecast completion dates, and communicate the overall construction plan. This session will discuss how to properly develop and manage a schedule throughout the project.

If you don’t have in-house phone help, a virtual receptionist service can be a life (and sanity) saver when you need to hunker down and get things done, giving you the freedom to focus without worrying about incoming calls.
